Introducing Acra's 9" x 50" 2 Axis CNC Vertical Milling Machine with Acu-Rite MillPower Controller, a compact and powerful solution for enhancing productivity in any machine shop. This versatile machine combines the functionality of a digital readout system, programmable NC control, and full 3D contouring capabilities, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced operators working with smaller workpieces.
Acra's 9" x 50" 2 Axis CNC Vertical Milling Machine with Acu-Rite MillPower Controller is designed to optimize your machining processes, reducing setup times and run times while significantly improving overall productivity in a compact footprint. The cornerstone of this machine is the ACU-RITE MILLPWRG2 control and retrofit kit, which can transform nearly any knee mill into an efficient CNC machine.
The MILLPWRG2 system boasts a large, full-color LCD display that offers exceptional clarity and easy navigation through standardized menus. This user-friendly interface enables operators to program common features quickly and easily, with helpful prompts guiding them through the process. The system supports arcs, blends, and circles in any size, shape, or pattern, eliminating the need for additional setup devices. An engrave option is also included for engraving alphanumeric characters in various orientations.
Engineered to withstand the rigors of even the harshest machine shop environments, the MILLPWRG2 system features components designed, manufactured, and tested for optimal performance and durability. The versatile nature of this system allows operators to seamlessly switch between fully automatic and manual modes, accommodating a wide range of machining requirements. Additionally, the system can import and run G-Code files from CAD/CAM programs for machining full 3D contoured parts.
